Bluesfest has once again done what they do best, and have added a stunning array of musicians to their already-stacked lineup for 2019!
Back in August, Bluesfest announced its first lineup for their 30th anniversary year. With some huge names on the bill, including Jack Johnson, Ben Harper & The Innocent, Snarky Puppy, and Kasey Chambers, fans were undoubtedly looking forward to April more than usual.
Now, following the announcement of a series of sideshows, the festival has expanded again, adding in a stunning selection of local and international acts to the 2019 edition of the festival.
Leading this second announcement is none other than Aussie icon Paul Kelly, who will be making his seventh appearance at the festival when he hits the stages next year. Following closely are international singer-songwriters Hozier and David Gray, while Aussie legend Julia Stone also joins a stunning lineup.
But it doesn’t end there though, with Bluesfest also bringing out huge names like Gary Clark Jr., Flogging Molly, Meshell Ndegeocello, Shakey Graves, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Mojo Juju, Caiti Baker, Melody Angel, and Hussy Hicks.
Amazingly, they’ve still got more fuel in the tank, with exclusive performances from the likes of Mavis Staples, Ruthie Foster, Anderson East, Samantha Fish, The War And Treaty, and Deva Mahal also in the pipeline.
“This truly is an all killer, no filler announcement from top to bottom with many more to come,” explained Bluesfest Festival Director Peter Noble. “We are very proud of it.”
The 2019 edition of Bluesfest kicks off on April 18th and runs until April 22nd. Tickets to next year’s event are on sale now, but with tickets selling faster than at any other Bluesfest in history, you might want to make sure you get in quick to ensure your place to witness a phenomenal lineup such as this.
